A group of GOP Senators, led by former President Donald Trump, have voiced strong opposition to a proposed immigration compromise, derailing efforts to reach a border security deal. Trump, along with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has criticized the deal as ineffective and detrimental, with Trump stating on Truth Social at 08:58 AM EST on 01/27/24, 'A BAD BORDER DEAL IS FAR WORSE THAN NO BORDER DEAL!' and at 12:13 PM EST on 01/27/24, 'OUR BORDER HAS BECOME A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION — OUR DESTRUCTION!!!' GOP Senator Thom Tillis called the actions of his colleagues 'immoral' for scuttling the deal to align with Trump's stance. The deal, which would grant President Biden the authority to shut down the border, has been labeled a 'farce' by DeSantis, who argues it would codify illegal entries and incentivize future illegal immigration. Trump has also accused Biden of hindering Texas' efforts to secure its border and has expressed a preference for no bill over what he considers a 'bad bill,' a sentiment he reiterated at 06:18 PM EST on 01/27/24.

Ron DeSantis is fed up with the Border "Deal" in Congress: "Stopping the invasion doesn’t require a so-called deal that codifies into law illegal entries in excess of 1.8 million per year and provides incentives for future illegal immigration." https://t.co/0njyfA7GKx
DeSantis: “This border deal is a farce. Joe Biden could stop the invasion cold if he wanted to. He does not want to. The appropriate number of illegal entries is zero.” https://t.co/Nr9YmYmSNy
